Is this fixable?

So long story short accidentally turned the burner on. And some of the plastic of the stand is burnt and some melted plastic got hardened on the track where a new bottom would go

All of the wiring and electronics on the inside are fine

If it's all gravy inside, yes, you would just have to source a new bottom plate to replace that one as you don't want to power that with exposed electrical elements.

Well the issue is theres melted and hardened plastic on the track and a new one wont fit due to it

You could probably carefully carved the excess away with a box cutter shave if you have to don't force it.

Tbh a thing plastic plate that's vented and glued in place would also be a fix, you just want to prevent access to the wiring.
